® Safety R&S TS-PWA3 General 2 Safety 2.1 General The Test System Versatile Platform must be operated in accordance with the safety regulations which apply in the owner's country. Safety risks created by an application that is based on the Test System Versatile Plat- form must be eliminated by suitable additional arrangements (e.g.
60 V d.c) must be operated by a skilled person only. The appropriate regulations governing work carried out on electrical equipment must be complied with. The electrical equipment fitted to the R&S TS-PWA3 must be checked at regular inter- vals. Defects such as loose connections, scorched cables etc. must be rectified imme- diately.
PC. A serial bus system (CAN Bus) is used to trigger the modules in the R&S TS-PWA3. External cabling is used to make the connection with the measure- ment and trigger bus of the R&S TS-PCA3.
Rear I/O is the name given to a design that allows input and output lines of the cPCI connectors P1 and P2 to be accessed from the rear of a backplane. Pluggable Rear I/O modules can be used for this purpose in the R&S TS-PWA3 and the R&S TS- PCA3.

Connector X0 (P47) serves as a power interface for a cPCI standard PSU. An addi- tional PSU can be plugged onto an optional power backplane, in which case the con- nection with the control backplane is made with an ATX power supply cable.
3.3.3.2 Analog Bus Backplane To simplify cabling, the R&S TS-PWA3 contains an analog bus with 8 signals. The ana- log bus backplane is located in the front above the cPCI backplane. A special layout meets the need for high crosstalk damping and low capacitance of the signal lines to GND.
Page 37
Concept of the Analog Bus Figure 3-11: Principle of the Analog Bus The analog bus in the R&S TS-PWA3 connects I/O channels of different plug-in mod- ules to each other. These I/O channels may be connections of instruments (measuring and stimuli devices) and connections of the test device. Up to 8 signals can be connec-...
Description R&S TS-PWA3 Construction Figure 3-12: Use of the Analog Bus in the R&S TS-PWA3 (Example) 3.3.3.3 Power Backplane The use of a second cPCI PSU in slots A1, A2 requires the optional Power Backplane (conforms to standard PICMG 2.0). From the Power Backplane, a cable with three con- nectors leads to a 24-pin ATX connector on the cPCI backplane.

3-3). 3.3.10 Cooling The R&S TS-PWA3 features a powerful cooling concept. The slots at the front (optional in the Rear I/O area) are cooled by a vertical flow of air. The four fans are located above the slots and are connected by inline contact connec- tors to the backplane.
3.4 System Module R&S TS-PSYS2 3.4.1 General The R&S TS-PSYS2 is in the Rear I/O slot 15 of the R&S TS-PWA3. System functions such as voltage and temperature monitoring, switchable trigger sig- nals and optocoupler interface are used to integrate the PowerTSVP in a complete system.
